And similarly, when the human mind is influenced by vidyá shakti [introversial force], what happens? All of a sudden it feels that “I should do something. I have a human structure. I am a human being. I should do something. I should act like a human being. I should try to goad myself to the realm of divinity, it is my dharma. I should follow dharma, I should strictly adhere to the code of dharma.” This idea is a gift of vidyá shakti, and this particular expression of vidyá shakti is called saḿvit shakti. Conscience, when it is roused all of a sudden, is called saḿvit. “I should do something, I should do something.” As soon as it comes in contact with saḿvit shakti, in the next moment you feel, “I should do something practical. Theory won’t help me; I should do something concrete, I should do something practical.” And when this desire to do something practical is created in the mind, this created force is called hládinii shakti or Rádhiká shakti. With the help of this Rádhiká shakti one can move towards that Cosmological Nave.

The Cosmological Nave is called Krśńa, because He attracts everything. Krśńa means “the supreme charmer”, “the supreme attracter”, who attracts everybody towards Him with the help of His – what? His supreme flute. That supreme flute is Krśńa. He creates universal acoustic waves, and those waves bring people towards Him; that is why He is called Krśńa. And microcosms come in contact with Krśńa with the help of that particular expression of sentient vidyá shakti which is known as Rádhiká shakti. And when with the help of Rádhiká shakti the microcosm comes in contact with the nave Krśńa Puruśottama, then we say it is the union of Krśńa and Rádhá. (Krśńa is not a male being of Vrindavan, and Rádhá is not a lady. You should understand it properly.) Now, this Rádhiká shakti is the cogitative faculty, the subject matter of today’s discourse; it is the cogitative faculty, and it is the divine force, and it is the devotional principle, it is devotion.
